>As I add records to a Grid using the design-time RecordSource, RelationalExpr, ChildOrder, and LinkMaster properties for data used for grid. As I add records to RecordSource records the data rows of grid are not sorted as I want (below is diagram of Parent->Child table relationships used for Grid). How do I do this?

Fred (or Don ?),
Hard to understand exactly.
As I understand DD_earappdwg.rd_rcn is a char type field and you want it to be sorted by DD_earappdwg.rd_dsort (datetime ? - will assume it's) :

Create an index in table DD_earappdwg. ie :
index on rd_rcn+ttoc(rd_dsort,1) tag mySorter


Grid RecordSource: DD_earappdwg
RelationalExpr: str(ar_rcn)
LinkMaster: DD_ear
ChildOrder: mySorter
